A large sign from the 2019 Oberlin musical performance of Urinetown points to an office belonging to Senior Technical Director Joseph Natt and Assistant Technical Director David Bugher of the theater department. The duo’s creative workplace, located in the scene shop in the Eric Baker Nord Performing Arts Annex, is a reflection of their artistic abilities that have left lasting impressions on dozens of plays, musicals, and operas performed at Oberlin College. Large windows look out onto a woodshop. Inside the office, unique nicknacks, books, family heirlooms, pictures, and a refrigerator used for keeping props cool, line the walls.

Our photo series continues with stops by other interesting office spaces, including those in the Allen Memorial Art Museum, Ward Art Building, Hall Annex, Peters Hall, the Science Center, and the Venturi Art Building.

This Week in Photos: Beautiful

March 31, 2022

It’s Saturday night in March and there’s a pulsating glow spilling from the windows of the Root Room in Carnegie Building. Inside, rows of spectators line the perimeter of a long narrow stage. Oberlin’s most anticipated fashion show begins as cheers swell when models, draped in creative attire, take their turn down the walk. This is a signature event during Black History Month. It also serves as inspiration for this week’s photo series.
